What is the fondest memory from your playing career at DeSales?
Obviously the entirety of senior year, from the bus rides to the games. Specifically, the triple overtime victory over Watterson at Hagley Field senior year was awesome (shoutout to Adam Acqusita for the game winner). Also my junior year upsetting Clinton-Massie at home was electric.
What made playing for DeSales so special?
Obviously the tradition is unlike any other, but if you put aside the winning history and all the great players who have walked the path at DeSales, what makes it so special to me is the people. All the amazing people who go on to do extraordinary things both within and outside of football. My teammates, the community, people like Tom, Arius, TJ, all the people involved with DeSales is what makes it so special. I know I’m not the only one but still to this day some of my best friends are people I shared that field and school with, and no matter how much times passes that’s always something special we will have and have shared!
What was your best game?
Statistically probably Dover during the playoffs senior year, but the next round against Jackson High I remember making some solid reads and just letting Jake Gilmore and Austin Andrews do the rest.
What was like playing for Coach Wiggins?
Coach Wiggins is the man! My favorite coach I’ve ever gotten to play for, a true player’s guy, someone I always knew had my back and most importantly the team’s back no matter what. He is someone who understands the tradition as he lived it, and knows the expectations all current students and alumni have for the football program. He is someone who will always have 110% respect and support from me and someone I owe so much thanks and gratitude for shaping the man I am today. Also I want to show love to all my guys: Coach Cromwell, Coach Gantz, Coach Delfino, Big Wiggs - not a day goes by where I’m not thankful and feel blessed for everything these men have done for me! Love you all!
Do you still follow DeSales, if yes, how closely?
Yes I do, Liam Harmon (stud) is my guy so I’ve been following along because of him and also having some friends with younger siblings on the team has me checking up on the stallions regularly. I love the direction we are going these past couple weeks, and I’m predicting we see Chardon again in the state championship, only this time with a different result….Go stallions!
